For some of my modeling projects I made my own parts, and often produced a few resin copies. They are available for purchase. Please contact me at Rob de Bie for more information. Payment can be done via PayPal, or bank transfer within the EU.
About the postage: I used to be able to ship resin parts for 2.20 euros in an bubble envelope as a letter, but due to international post agreements this is no longer possible. Per 1 January 2020, all international shipments of goods are now packages, with obligatory online registration no less. Postage of a typical shipment jumped to 7.50 euros (Europe) or 10 euros (rest of the world), or even 13 to 24 euros with track and trace. I'm of course very unhappy about this development.
set of three underfuselage inlets for the 1/72 Lockheed U-2C, 4 euros. Cast from scratch-built parts.
double rear wheel set for 1/72 MD-3 Mule navy deck tractor, 4 euros. Cast from doubled Fujimi Mule wheel, with flattend contact area, and separate Verlinden hub.
M116 napalm bomb, 1/48 scale, similar to Mark 77 Mod 0, Cutting Edge used to produce a similar item (CEC48171) but it is long out of production. Single piece casting, from scratch-built parts. Used from roughly 1950 to 1970 by many aircraft like A-26, AU-1 Corsair, French F8F, NATO F-84F, etc. Cost is 10 euros for a set of two.
In preparation: M116 napalm bomb, 1/48 scale, with bare igniters/fuzes, as used on slower aircraft. 3D CAD design shown here, planned for 3D printing. Possibly also availabe in 1/72 scale.
In preparation: similar to the above M116, it was also used as underwing 110 gallon fuel tanks by P-51 Mustangs, as used by USAF (Korean War), Air National Guard, Philippines and Guatamala
AN-M66 2000 lbs bomb with conical tail, 1/48 scale, as used in Vietnam war (A-6 for example) and NATO (F-84F for example). Two piece casting, from scratch-built parts. 12 euros for a set of two.
ALE-2 chaff pod, 1/48 scale, as used by EB-57E, T-33A, F-4, Firebee and many other aircraft. Cost is 12 euros for a set of two.
In preparation: F-84F pylon for Mark 7 nuclear bomb, 1/48 scale, that Monogram forgot to include in its kit. One piece casting, scratch-built, 4 euros.
In preparation: F-84F Assisted Take-Off package, 1/48 scale. The Monogram/Revell and Kinetic/Italeri kits provide a simplified pack of just four bottles, omitting the large bracket that they are mounted on.
The Heller and HobbyBoss/Encore kits don't have the ATO package at all.
I designed custom decal sets for some of my own models, and for models of other modelers. If you're interested, I can order more prints. They are custom printed by SpotModel in Spain. As an extra service, if you want some small changes to the decal sheet, I can include those. Please contact me at Rob de Bie for more information. Payment can be done via PayPal, or bank transfer within the EU. The shipping will be as a letter, not a package as with the resin parts (i.e. a lot cheaper).
A replica sheet of the old Revell 1/72 F-16 from 1976. The decal sheet of my old Revell-Germany 1/72 F-16 (H-222 and derivatives) was printed with one intermediate color for both the black and dark blue parts. My redrawn version has both colors correctly represented, and has vibrant colors. I can provide variantions, like 'YF-16' instead of 'F-16', different colors, or the flags of the buying countries. 12 euros.
The markings for the C-130Hs of 336 squadron, Royal Netherlands Air Force. Flevo Decals did these decals in four scales (catalog numbers 200-001, 144-001, 72-008 and 48-008) but they are sold out. I started from scratch and improved the decal accuracy. Smaller stencils are not included, you can use the kit stencils. The decals can be printed in any desired scale. I can also provide 'bleached' versions of the roundels and squadron badges, since the paint on these aircraft quickly changes from FS 36173 to a much lighter color. Price depends on the size of the sheet. A 1/144 sheet with all four serials and 'bleached' roundels and badges is around 10 euros. A 1/72 sheet with all four serials and 'bleached' roundels and badges is around 28 euros, but costs can be reduced by eliminating serials. Other scales are also possible, I've had requests for 1/128 and 1/200. Shown are photos of the 1/72, 1/128 (with cockpit windows, for a die-cast model) and 1/200 versions.
Pander Postjager, for the Execuform vacform kit. The underwing markings can be done as 'reversed' lettering in the orange areas, or as light gray (silverish) as shown at the top. Price depends on the size of the sheet.
